*In my opinion, Negative 1 layer should actually only be named “Negative,” since there is not a “Negative 2” layer.įirst making sure that my layers are unlocked and visible, I then select all my shapes, then copy and paste it all into a new layer (“Grouped”). My third layer (“Positive 2”) contains the last set of positive (black) shapes that sit on the white (in Negative 1 layer*). It is at this point that the linework becomes defined. In this layer, I created the white (negative) shapes by using my original sketch as reference. Next, a new layer was created (Negative 1). This layer is named “Positive 1” (as it says in the Layers Palette). Pasted in the Illustrator artboard is the original sketch for my illustration. From this I outlined and created silhouetted shapes… This little dude also was featured on the WMC Fest 6 kid’s shirt. Yep! He’s the mini version of the cosmic robot Buddha illustration I did for Weapons of Mass Creation Fest 6. I’ll walk you through it, and by the end you will have another method to illustration in your repertoire. We all know that Illustrator is great for creating dynamic linework and wonderful shapes, but what about creating lines WITH shapes? You know, positive and negative space? Get what I’m saying? Picking up what I’m putting down? Smelling what I’m stepping in? If you’re still unsure, no problem. Add in the cuticle oil and consider those problems solved, haha 😉 You can find both products at your local Walgreens in the beauty aisle under Nail Care.Positive and Negative Space in Illustrator This new multitasker provides the solutions to all of the common nail problems, is an all in one base coat, top coat, growth treatment, strengthener, ridge filler, brightener, and ultra-moisturizing nail treatment. It’s sitting on my desk right now, and whenever I look at it I’m reminded to massage a little bit into the cuticles to make my current mani last longer.Īs you can see, I used Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1 Nail Treatment as both my base and top coat. I just picked up Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil and I really like it so far.
For this step I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color in 440 Mint Sprint and 260 Sonic Bloom.Ĥ // Seal in your design with some top coat, and voi la – your negative space manicure is complete!ĥ // To make your fresh manicure to look extra neat, swipe the base of your nails with cuticle oil to soften any dry and rough edges.
Wait a couple minutes for the polish to dry, then remove the tape. I used my new favorite Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1 Nail Treatment.Ģ // Using nail art tape or scotch tape, arrange the strips to form random geometrical shapes.ģ // Carefully fill in the hollows with bright summery colors using the nail polish brush or a small sponge. I also picked up a couple summery nail color shades to bring this idea to life.ġ // Trim and file the nails, then apply a nice thick layer of base coat and wait for it to dry completely.
I needed a new base coat anyway, and my old nail care oil had to be replaced. For today’s easy negative space manicure tutorial I selected four Sally Hansen products that I picked up at a local Walgreens. I was a bit hesitant to try it at first because my nails are uneven and have ridges, but with the right base coat even the most uneven surfaces can be evened out nicely. This simple yet eye-catching technique is called negative space manicure, which in a nutshell is made up of splashes of color with your bare nail peeking through. Nail art is basically an art form in itself, hence the name, and one style in particular is having a moment right now. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc.
